KE KAENA A KA MOI KALAKAUA

Ua kaahele au maluna o ka ilihonua me na moana,
A Inia mamao, a me Kina kaulana;
Hoea i na aekai o Aferika, a me na palena o Europa,
A halawai me ka ikaika o na aina apau,
A ia’u i ku ai ma ka aoao o na Poo Aupuni,
Ka poe mana maluna o ka lakou, me ka hiehie Alii;
Hoomaopopo iho la au i ka ukuiki, a nawaliwali o ko’u,
Me ko’u Nohoalii hookahua ia maluna o kahi puu Pele,
A ma kahi he miliona i hooko i ka keia mau Moi,
He mau tausani wale iho no malalo o ko’u mau malu;
Aka, ke upu nei loko, na’u ke Kaena hiki,
Aia he mau nani maloko o na poai o ko’u mau aekai—
I oi aku ka makamae i ka o’u mau hoa Moi,
Aohe o’u kumu hopo maloko o ko’u Aupuni,
He hiki ke hui me ko’u lahui, me ka weli ole,
Aohe makau no’u iho, me ke kiai pilipaa ole ia,
A na’u ke Kaena, he momi i hoounaia mailuna mai na’u—
Eia me A’u ke Aloha pilipaa o Ko’u Lahuikanaka.
